New kill teams announced. T'au and Sisters. T'au are getting a cadian styled upgrade sprue.

Killteam starter box announced. It comes with the ork and krieg killteams, they've also announced their seperate release.

New season of underworlds announced. Showing kruelboyz, and probably the most boring looking stormcasts I've ever seen.
I find it curious that the displayed individual Krieg box appears to omit calling them Krieg, rather just going with the broad "Veteran Guardsmen" label.

That's the name of their profile in the killteam rules. It so you can play a different regiment.
 
There's another Kill Team box incoming, the first expansion featuring an all new kit of Sisters of Battle. Their punching bag is Tau Pathfinders. Since it's a cheap kit GW tacked on a new sprue. That's all Tau players get, I hope it's not indicative of how the new KilL Team kits are going to be.

Radukar is a nice size.
I gotta say one thing im jealous about sigmar is that they have a lot of Big HQs, while in 40k its usually just shown with "lets give them a bigger tactical rock to stand on".
 
I'm not going to shit on what looks like someone's first paintjob (plus that freehand Star of David looks good and he's using based firstborn), but I am going to take the time to highlight how I see the best use of copy real-life identities/organizations into Warhammer.

If you are painting a 1:1 representation of an identity, make it look well painted. If someone wants to paint a space marine in the pride flag, make your freehand look steady and clean. Being able to do a rainbow color scheme is more impressive than making a political statement.

If you are trying to make an army that's Jews In Space or Native Americans In Space or Nazis In Space, don't just transplant the group into the 41st millennium. Not only is it narrative breaking, it's going to piss some people off, especially if you do something like make an Imperial Guard army with swastika arm bands. If you take a modern culture and transplant it 38,000 years into the future, evolve it. For this guy's army, either they have taken on the symbol of Judaism but have given it a 40k twist or they literally are the descendants of the Jewish people and if so give religion a more militant monk theme to it.

Otherwise just go ham with it, like the Catachans being a parody of American Vietnam War films. Have a detachment of allied Sisters of Battle to act as nagging Jewish mothers. Give the chaplains torah scrolls to read from (or for a bit of a sacrilegious tone, make their weapon a power torah). Make the Chapter Master Mel Brooks and the first company captain Larry David.

I guess that if you are going to take real world inspiration, make the army stand out.
 
Who the hell sculpted the Tau? Their faces look like they were made by a three year old with playdoh

Sisters are alright though.


I tell my wife that all of the time, it's not very effective.
Its just the old fire warriors with an upgrade sprue.
